" El Azteca became my favorite stopping point after a long week! The enchiladas were out of this world: cheesy, saucy, and bursting with flavor. The chips were unlimited, and the salsa was excellent, pairing perfectly with our drinks! The service was top-notch; the staff made sure we had everything we needed without being overly present. It felt like home away from home. I can’t recommend it enough, especially if you love authentic flavors! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had an unimpressive dining experience at El Azteca. The service was fairly slow, and my order was incorrect when it arrived. I ordered the shrimp enchiladas but received the chicken version instead. While I informed the staff about it, they replaced my meal but did not seem apologetic. The food was mediocre at best. I felt like it lacked the authentic taste that I was hoping for, especially considering how many rave reviews I had read online. The only upside was that the chips and salsa were nice. " (*Curated Review*)

" Citizens of Dover rave about El Azteca, and it absolutely lives up to the hype! I ventured here with reservations about the 'chain' restaurant stigma, but was pleasantly surprised. The varieties of tacos offered are all authentic and delicious. The margaritas are some of the best in town! I enjoyed the avocado dip as a starter, which was a delightful complement to the chips served. Overall, I would highly recommend this spot for casual dining with superb food! " (*Curated Review*)

" My family and I went to El Azteca last week for a cheerful dinner celebration, and we left feeling delighted! The interior was bright and festive, making for a perfect environment. I ordered the molcajete that was enough for the whole table, filled with a variety of meats and grilled veggies. Everyone at the table enjoyed it thoroughly, especially the charred flavors combined with fresh tortillas. The service was excellent; the staff made us feel welcome and checked in enough to ensure we were satisfied without being annoying. I can't wait to come back for another family night out here! " (*Curated Review*)

" After hearing great things about El Azteca, I decided to pay a visit. I found the menu diverse, but while I enjoyed my meal, I found it underwhelming overall. It was good but not great, lacking that wow factor. The atmosphere was fun, but the service could be improved. I would be open to giving it another chance, but my first time doesn’t completely win me over. " (*Curated Review*)

" El Azteca is a decent Mexican restaurant. My wife and I visited for the first time recently and enjoyed the food. I ordered the chicken fajitas, and they were quite tasty. However, I felt that the seasoning could have been stronger. The service was friendly but a bit slow, and the atmosphere was lively, though somewhat loud. The portions were generous, especially for the price paid. While I enjoyed my experience, I think it could improve a bit with the flavors and the attentiveness of the staff. " (*Curated Review*)

" A delightful experience at El Azteca! I’ve been here a few times now and have had great food each visit. The tacos al pastor were beautifully made and full of flavor, and they don’t skimp on the protein. I also loved their salsa, which was fresh and had the perfect spicy kick! The staff is always pleasant, and the atmosphere is fun without being overwhelming. This is a family-friendly spot that I recommend to anyone. " (*Curated Review*)
